Editorial Review: Product Description: When Sookie's brother Jason's eyes start to change, she knows he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. But her concern becomes cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population-and Jason's new panther brethren suspect he may be the shooter. Now, Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks, unless the killer decides to find her first. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good funClassic trash fiction. Pure fun. I'm in love with this series. Don't expect complex thought here, just good fun. Rating: - Dead As A Doornail-Audio BookThere are parts of this book I find pretty boring and having listened to it several times, I skip. But what really annoys me is that the narrator seems to have forgotten her characters' accents in this book. Eric and Pam have normal voices, yet in the next book she goes right back to the accents she developed in earlier books. It is incredibly annoying to me-enough to make me write a review! Rating: - Dead as a DoornailIt had been awhile since I'd read the third book and I've watched the first two seasons of True Blood in the meantime. So, at first it was difficult to keep everything straight in my head. The television series strays from the book so much, I had to remind myself of what had really happened. But, once I was into a few chapters I was reminded how much more I like the books. The shifters of Bon Temps are being shot. But, since they are still aren't recognized in public, and don't want to be, the police cannot find the connection between the people being shot. Due to his new "were" status Jason Stackhouse is a suspect among the shifters. As if trying to defend her brother wasn't enough to worry about, the Fellowship of the Sun members are apparently out for revenge on Sookie and she's been dragged into elections for a new werewolf leader. It would be easy to tear apart the stories (How many men can be in love with the same woman?) But, the fact is, the books are just plain fun. Sookie gets in these crazy, dangerous situations and still manages to make humorous observations of the people around her. As for all the men in love with her, somehow they're all appealing in their own way. Rating: - Narrator lost the Southern accent!Johanna Parker has been doing such a good job with the accent up until this book...what happened? She still sounds Southern but not as thick. Also she doesn't put as much into the others characters like she did in the audio books up until this one. I have been listening to the series in succession and the difference is quite noticeable. Rating: - CuteI love the Sookie books, and this one was cute though not as good as the first couple for me. I love the tension between the characters.
